Beam gain signaling

ABSTRACT

A base station transmits a first transmission using a first directional beam and determines an equivalent isotropic radiated power (EIRP) relationship between the first transmission and a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) for a user equipment (UE). The base station transmits, to the UE, an indication of the EIRP relationship between the first transmission and the PDSCH. Then, the base station transmits the PDSCH to the UE using the second directional beam. The UE uses the indication of the EIRP relationship to receive the PDSCH from the base station over the second directional beam.

The present disclosure relates generally to communication systems, andmore particularly, to wireless communication including directionalbeams.

INTRODUCTION

Wireless communication systems are widely deployed to provide varioustelecommunication services such as telephony, video, data, messaging,and broadcasts. Typical wireless communication systems may employmultiple-access technologies capable of supporting communication withmultiple users by sharing available system resources. Examples of suchmultiple-access technologies include code division multiple access(CDMA) systems, time division multiple access (TDMA) systems, frequencydivision multiple access (FDMA) systems, orthogonal frequency divisionmultiple access (OFDMA) systems, single-carrier frequency divisionmultiple access (SC-FDMA) systems, and time division synchronous codedivision multiple access (TD-SCDMA) systems.

These multiple access technologies have been adopted in varioustelecommunication standards to provide a common protocol that enablesdifferent wireless devices to communicate on a municipal, national,regional, and even global level. An example telecommunication standardis 5G New Radio (NR). 5G NR is part of a continuous mobile broadbandevolution promulgated by Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) tomeet new requirements associated with latency, reliability, security,scalability (e.g., with Internet of Things (IoT)), and otherrequirements. 5G NR includes services associated with enhanced mobilebroadband (eMBB), massive machine type communications (mMTC), andultra-reliable low latency communications (URLLC). Some aspects of 5G NRmay be based on the 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) standard. There existsa need for further improvements in 5G NR technology. These improvementsmay also be applicable to other multi-access technologies and thetelecommunication standards that employ these technologies.

Itis intended that innovations described herein may be practiced in a widevariety of devices, chip-level components, systems, distributedarrangements, end-user devices, etc. of varying sizes, shapes, andconstitution.

FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an example of a wireless communicationssystem and an access network 100. The access network 100 may include oneor more base stations 102 or 180 and one or more UEs 104. The basestation base station 102/180 may utilize beamforming 182 with the UE104, e.g., to compensate for the extremely high path loss and shortrange. The base station 180 and the UE 104 may each include a pluralityof antennas, such as antenna elements, antenna panels, and/or antennaarrays to facilitate the beamforming.

The base station 180 may transmit a beamformed signal to the UE 104 inone or more transmit directions 182′. The UE 104 may receive thebeamformed signal from the base station 180 in one or more receivedirections 182″. The UE 104 may also transmit a beamformed signal to thebase station 180 in one or more transmit directions. The base station180 may receive the beamformed signal from the UE 104 in one or morereceive directions. The base station 180/UE 104 may perform beamtraining to determine the best receive and transmit directions for eachof the base station 180/UE 104. The transmit and receive directions forthe base station 180 may or may not be the same. The transmit andreceive directions for the UE 104 may or may not be the same.

Some physical channels, such as a channel comprising SSB, TRS, CSI-RS,etc., may be transmitted by a base station 102/180 using broader spatialbeams, whereas data (e.g., a physical downlink shared channel) may betransmitted using a narrower beam to improve spectral efficiency. Thedifference in the beams may lead to a mismatch between the receivedpower that the UE 104 observes on different channels. The powerdifference may lead to challenges for receiver control loops at the UEwhen there are beam changes at the base station 102/180.

Aspects presented herein improve automatic gain control convergenceand/or channel estimation for the UE 104 through signaling from the basestation 102/180 that indicates an EIRP relationship between a firstdownlink transmission and a PDSCH for the UE 104.

In some examples, a base station 102 or 180 may include an EIRPindication component 199 configured to determine an EIRP relationshipbetween a first downlink transmission and a PDSCH for a UE 104. The EIRPindication component 198 may be configured to transmit, to the UE 104,an indication of the EIRP relationship between the first transmissionand the PDSCH. Then, the base station 102 or 180 may transmit the PDSCHto the UE using the second directional beam. The UE 104 may include anEIRP indication reception component 198 configured to receive, from thebase station 102 or 180, an indication of an EIRP relationship betweenthe first transmission and a PDSCH. The EIRP indication receptioncomponent 198 may be configured to receive the PDSCH from the basestation 102 or 180 over a second directional beam using the receivedEIRP relationship. For example, the UE 104 may perform automatic gaincontrol to receive the PDSCH using the EIRP relationship indicated bythe base station 102 or 180. In another example, the UE 104 may performchannel estimation to receive the PDSCH using the EIRP relationshipindicated by the base station.

Although the following description may be focused on 5G NR, the conceptsdescribed herein may be applicable to other similar areas, such as LTE,LTE-A, CDMA, GSM, and other wireless technologies.

The wireless communications system (also referred to as a wireless widearea network (WWAN)) includes base stations 102, UEs 104, an EvolvedPacket Core (EPC) 160, and another core network 190 (e.g., a 5G Core(5GC)). The base stations 102 may include macrocells (high powercellular base station) and/or small cells (low power cellular basestation). The macrocells include base stations. The small cells includefemtocells, picocells, and microcells.

The base stations 102 configured for 4G LTE (collectively referred to as

Evolved Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) TerrestrialRadio Access Network (E-UTRAN)) may interface with the EPC 160 throughfirst backhaul links 132 (e.g., S1 interface). The base stations 102configured for 5G NR (collectively referred to as Next Generation RAN(NG-RAN)) may interface with core network 190 through second backhaullinks 184. In addition to other functions, the base stations 102 mayperform one or more of the following functions: transfer of user data,radio channel ciphering and deciphering, integrity protection, headercompression, mobility control functions (e.g., handover, dualconnectivity), inter-cell interference coordination, connection setupand release, load balancing, distribution for non-access stratum (NAS)messages, NAS node selection, synchronization, radio access network(RAN) sharing, multimedia broadcast multicast service (MBMS), subscriberand equipment trace, RAN information management (RIM), paging,positioning, and delivery of warning messages. The base stations 102 maycommunicate directly or indirectly (e.g., through the EPC 160 or corenetwork 190) with each other over third backhaul links 134 (e.g., X2interface). The third backhaul links 134 may be wired or wireless.

The base stations 102 may wirelessly communicate with the UEs 104. Eachof the base stations 102 may provide communication coverage for arespective geographic coverage area 110. There may be overlappinggeographic coverage areas 110. For example, the small cell 102′ may havea coverage area 110′ that overlaps the coverage area 110 of one or moremacro base stations 102. A network that includes both small cell andmacrocells may be known as a heterogeneous network. A heterogeneousnetwork may also include Home Evolved Node Bs (eNBs) (HeNBs), which mayprovide service to a restricted group known as a closed subscriber group(CSG). The communication links 120 between the base stations 102 and theUEs 104 may include uplink (UL) (also referred to as reverse link)transmissions from a UE 104 to a base station 102 and/or downlink (DL)(also referred to as forward link) transmissions from a base station 102to a UE 104. The communication links 120 may use multiple-input andmultiple-output (MIMO) antenna technology, including spatialmultiplexing, beamforming, and/or transmit diversity. The communicationlinks may be through one or more carriers. The base stations 102/UEs 104may use spectrum up to Y MHz (e.g., 5, 10, 15, 20, 100, 400, etc. MHz)bandwidth per carrier allocated in a carrier aggregation of up to atotal of Yx MHz (x component carriers) used for transmission in eachdirection. The carriers may or may not be adjacent to each other.Allocation of carriers may be asymmetric with respect to DL and UL(e.g., more or fewer carriers may be allocated for DL than for UL). Thecomponent carriers may include a primary component carrier and one ormore secondary component carriers. A primary component carrier may bereferred to as a primary cell (PCell) and a secondary component carriermay be referred to as a secondary cell (SCell).

Certain UEs 104 may communicate with each other using device-to-device(D2D) communication link 158. The D2D communication link 158 may use theDL/UL WWAN spectrum. The D2D communication link 158 may use one or moresidelink channels, such as a physical sidelink broadcast channel(PSBCH), a physical sidelink discovery channel (PSDCH), a physicalsidelink shared channel (PSSCH), and a physical sidelink control channel(PSCCH). D2D communication may be through a variety of wireless D2Dcommunications systems, such as for example, WiMedia, Bluetooth, ZigBee,Wi-Fi based on the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers(IEEE) 802.11 standard, LTE, or NR.

The wireless communications system may further include a Wi-Fi accesspoint (AP) 150 in communication with Wi-Fi stations (STAs) 152 viacommunication links 154 in a 5 GHz unlicensed frequency spectrum. Whencommunicating in an unlicensed frequency spectrum, the STAs 152/AP 150may perform a clear channel assessment (CCA) prior to communicating inorder to determine whether the channel is available.

The small cell 102′ may operate in a licensed and/or an unlicensedfrequency spectrum. When operating in an unlicensed frequency spectrum,the small cell 102′ may employ NR and use the same 5 GHz unlicensedfrequency spectrum as used by the Wi-Fi AP 150. The small cell 102′,employing NR in an unlicensed frequency spectrum, may boost coverage toand/or increase capacity of the access network.

A base station 102, whether a small cell 102′ or a large cell (e.g.,macro base station), may include and/or be referred to as an eNB, gNodeB(gNB), or another type of base station. Some base stations 180, such asa gNB, may operate in a traditional sub 6 GHz spectrum, in millimeterwave (mmW) frequencies, and/or near mmW frequencies in communicationwith the UE 104. When the base station 180 operates in mmW or near mmWfrequencies, the base station 180 may be referred to as an mmW basestation. Extremely high frequency (EHF) is part of the RF in theelectromagnetic spectrum. EHF has a range of 30 GHz to 300 GHz and awavelength between 1 millimeter and 10 millimeters. Radio waves in theband may be referred to as a millimeter wave. Near mmW may extend downto a frequency of 3 GHz with a wavelength of 100 millimeters. The superhigh frequency (SHF) band extends between 3 GHz and 30 GHz, alsoreferred to as centimeter wave. Communications using the mmW/near mmWradio frequency (RF) band (e.g., 3 GHz-300 GHz) has extremely high pathloss and a short range. The electromagnetic spectrum is often subdividedby various authors or entities into different classes, bands, channels,or the like, based on frequency/wavelength. For example, in 5G NR twoinitial operating bands have been identified as frequency rangedesignations FR1 (410 MHz-7125 MHz) and FR2 (24250 MHz-52600 MHz). Eventhough a portion of FR1 is greater than 6 GHz (>6000 MHz), FR1 is oftenreferred to (interchangeably) as a Sub-6 GHz band in various documentsand articles regarding 5G NR topics. A similar nomenclature issuesometimes occurs with regard to FR2 in various documents and articlesregarding 5G NR topics. While a portion of FR2 is less than 30 GHz(<30000 MHz), FR2 is often referred to (interchangeably) as a millimeterwave band. However, some authors/entities tend to define wirelesssignals with wavelengths between 1-10 millimeters as falling within amillimeter wave band (30 GHz-300 GHz).

With the above examples in mind, unless specifically stated otherwise,the term “sub-6 GHz” if used herein by way of example may represent allor part of FR1 for 5G NR. Further, unless specifically stated otherwise,the term “millimeter wave” as used herein by way of example mayrepresent all or part of FR2 for 5G NR and/or all or part of a 30GHz-300 GHz waveband.

The above examples are not necessarily intended to limit claimed subjectmatter. For example, unless specifically recited, claimed subject matterrelating to wireless communications is not necessarily intended to belimited to any particular author/entity defined frequency band, or thelike.

The mmW base station 180 may utilize beamforming 182 with the UE 104, asdescribed above to compensate for the extremely high path loss and shortrange.

The EPC 160 may include a Mobility Management Entity (MME) 162, otherMMES 164, a Serving Gateway 166, a Multimedia Broadcast MulticastService (MBMS) Gateway 168, a Broadcast Multicast Service Center (BM-SC)170, and a Packet Data Network (PDN) Gateway 172. The MME 162 may be incommunication with a Home Subscriber Server (HSS) 174. The MME 162 isthe control node that processes the signaling between the UEs 104 andthe EPC 160. Generally, the MME 162 provides bearer and connectionmanagement. All user Internet protocol (IP) packets are transferredthrough the Serving Gateway 166, which itself is connected to the PDNGateway 172. The PDN Gateway 172 provides UE IP address allocation aswell as other functions. The PDN Gateway 172 and the BM-SC 170 areconnected to the IP Services 176. The IP Services 176 may include theInternet, an intranet, an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS), a PS StreamingService, and/or other IP services. The BM-SC 170 may provide functionsfor MBMS user service provisioning and delivery. The BM-SC 170 may serveas an entry point for content provider MBMS transmission, may be used toauthorize and initiate MBMS Bearer Services within a public land mobilenetwork (PLMN), and may be used to schedule MBMS transmissions. The MBMSGateway 168 may be used to distribute MBMS traffic to the base stations102 belonging to a Multicast Broadcast Single Frequency Network (MBSFN)area broadcasting a particular service, and may be responsible forsession management (start/stop) and for collecting eMBMS relatedcharging information.

The core network 190 may include a Access and Mobility ManagementFunction (AMF) 192, other AMFs 193, a Session Management Function (SMF)194, and a User Plane Function (UPF) 195. The AMF 192 may be incommunication with a Unified Data Management (UDM) 196. The AMF 192 isthe control node that processes the signaling between the UEs 104 andthe core network 190. Generally, the AMF 192 provides QoS flow andsession management. All user Internet protocol (IP) packets aretransferred through the UPF 195. The UPF 195 provides UE IP addressallocation as well as other functions. The UPF 195 is connected to theIP Services 197. The IP Services 197 may include the Internet, anintranet, an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS), a Packet Switch (PS)Streaming (PSS) Service, and/or other IP services.

The base station may include and/or be referred to as a gNB, Node B,eNB, an access point, a base transceiver station, a radio base station,a radio transceiver, a transceiver function, a basic service set (BSS),an extended service set (ESS), a transmit reception point (TRP), or someother suitable terminology. The base station 102 provides an accesspoint to the EPC 160 or core network 190 for a UE 104. Examples of UEs104 include a cellular phone, a smart phone, a session initiationprotocol (SIP) phone, a laptop, a personal digital assistant (PDA), asatellite radio, a global positioning system, a multimedia device, avideo device, a digital audio player (e.g., MP3 player), a camera, agame console, a tablet, a smart device, a wearable device, a vehicle, anelectric meter, a gas pump, a large or small kitchen appliance, ahealthcare device, an implant, a sensor/actuator, a display, or anyother similar functioning device. Some of the UEs 104 may be referred toas IoT devices (e.g., parking meter, gas pump, toaster, vehicles, heartmonitor, etc.). The UE 104 may also be referred to as a station, amobile station, a subscriber station, a mobile unit, a subscriber unit,a wireless unit, a remote unit, a mobile device, a wireless device, awireless communications device, a remote device, a mobile subscriberstation, an access terminal, a mobile terminal, a wireless terminal, aremote terminal, a handset, a user agent, a mobile client, a client, orsome other suitable terminology.

FIG. 2A is a diagram 200 illustrating an example of a first subframewithin a 5G/NR frame structure. FIG. 2B is a diagram 230 illustrating anexample of DL channels within a 5G/NR subframe. FIG. 2C is a diagram 250illustrating an example of a second subframe within a 5G/NR framestructure. FIG. 2D is a diagram 280 illustrating an example of ULchannels within a 5G/NR subframe. The 5G/NR frame structure may befrequency division duplexed (FDD) in which for a particular set ofsubcarriers (carrier system bandwidth), subframes within the set ofsubcarriers are dedicated for either DL or UL, or may be time divisionduplexed (TDD) in which for a particular set of subcarriers (carriersystem bandwidth), subframes within the set of subcarriers are dedicatedfor both DL and UL. In the examples provided by FIGS. 2A, 2C, the 5G/NRframe structure is assumed to be TDD, with subframe 4 being configuredwith slot format 28 (with mostly DL), where D is DL, U is UL, and X isflexible for use between DL/UL, and subframe 3 being configured withslot format 34 (with mostly UL). While subframes 3, 4 are shown withslot formats 34, 28, respectively, any particular subframe may beconfigured with any of the various available slot formats 0-61. Slotformats 0, 1 are all DL, UL, respectively. Other slot formats 2-61include a mix of DL, UL, and flexible symbols. UEs are configured withthe slot format (dynamically through DL control information (DCI), orsemi-statically/statically through radio resource control (RRC)signaling) through a received slot format indicator (SFI). Note that thedescription infra applies also to a 5G/NR frame structure that is TDD.

Other wireless communication technologies may have a different framestructure and/or different channels. A frame (10 ms) may be divided into10 equally sized subframes (1 ms). Each subframe may include one or moretime slots. Subframes may also include mini-slots, which may include 7,4, or 2 symbols. Each slot may include 7 or 14 symbols, depending on theslot configuration. For slot configuration 0, each slot may include 14symbols, and for slot configuration 1, each slot may include 7 symbols.The symbols on DL may be cyclic prefix (CP) OFDM (CP-OFDM) symbols. Thesymbols on UL may be CP-OFDM symbols (for high throughput scenarios) ordiscrete Fourier transform (DFT) spread OFDM (DFT-s-OFDM) symbols (alsoreferred to as single carrier frequency-division multiple access(SC-FDMA) symbols) (for power limited scenarios; limited to a singlestream transmission). The number of slots within a subframe is based onthe slot configuration and the numerology. For slot configuration 0,different numerologies μ0 to 5 allow for 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, and 32 slots,respectively, per subframe. For slot configuration 1, differentnumerologies 0 to 2 allow for 2, 4, and 8 slots, respectively, persubframe. Accordingly, for slot configuration 0 and numerology μ, thereare 14 symbols/slot and 2^(μ) slots/subframe. The subcarrier spacing andsymbol length/duration are a function of the numerology. The subcarrierspacing may be equal to 2^(μ)* 15 kHz, where μ is the numerology 0 to 5.As such, the numerology μ=0 has a subcarrier spacing of 15 kHz and thenumerology μ=5 has a subcarrier spacing of 480 kHz. The symbollength/duration is inversely related to the subcarrier spacing. FIGS.2A-2D provide an example of slot configuration 0 with 14 symbols perslot and numerology μ=2 with 4 slots per subframe. The slot duration is0.25 ms, the subcarrier spacing is 60 kHz, and the symbol duration isapproximately 16.67 μs.

A resource grid may be used to represent the frame structure. Each timeslot includes a resource block (RB) (also referred to as physical RBs(PRBs)) that extends 12 consecutive subcarriers. The resource grid isdivided into multiple resource elements (REs). The number of bitscarried by each RE depends on the modulation scheme.

As illustrated in FIG. 2A, some of the REs carry reference (pilot)signals (RS) for the UE. The RS may include demodulation RS (DM-RS)(indicated as R_(x) for one particular configuration, where 100 x is theport number, but other DM-RS configurations are possible) and channelstate information reference signals (CSI-RS) for channel estimation atthe UE. The RS may also include beam measurement RS (BRS), beamrefinement RS (BRRS), and phase tracking RS (PT-RS).

FIG. 2B illustrates an example of various DL channels within a subframeof a frame. The physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) carries DCIwithin one or more control channel elements (CCEs), each CCE includingnine RE groups (REGs), each REG including four consecutive REs in anOFDM symbol. A primary synchronization signal (PSS) may be within symbol2 of particular subframes of a frame. The PSS is used by a UE 104 todetermine subframe/symbol timing and a physical layer identity. Asecondary synchronization signal (SSS) may be within symbol 4 ofparticular subframes of a frame. The SSS is used by a UE to determine aphysical layer cell identity group number and radio frame timing. Basedon the physical layer identity and the physical layer cell identitygroup number, the UE can determine a physical cell identifier (PCI).Based on the PCI, the UE can determine the locations of theaforementioned DM-RS. The physical broadcast channel (PBCH), whichcarries a master information block (MIB), may be logically grouped withthe PSS and SSS to form a synchronization signal (SS)/PBCH block. TheMIB provides a number of RBs in the system bandwidth and a system framenumber (SFN). The physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) carries userdata, broadcast system information not transmitted through the PBCH suchas system information blocks (SIBs), and paging messages.

As illustrated in FIG. 2C, some of the REs carry DM-RS (indicated as Rfor one particular configuration, but other DM-RS configurations arepossible) for channel estimation at the base station. The UE maytransmit DM-RS for the physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) and DM-RSfor the physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH). The PUSCH DM-RS may betransmitted in the first one or two symbols of the PUSCH. The PUCCHDM-RS may be transmitted in different configurations depending onwhether short or long PUCCHs are transmitted and depending on theparticular PUCCH format used. The UE may transmit sounding referencesignals (SRS). The SRS may be transmitted in the last symbol of asubframe. The SRS may have a comb structure, and a UE may transmit SRSon one of the combs. The SRS may be used by a base station for channelquality estimation to enable frequency-dependent scheduling on the UL.

FIG. 2D illustrates an example of various UL channels within a subframeof a frame. The PUCCH may be located as indicated in one configuration.The PUCCH carries uplink control information (UCI), such as schedulingrequests, a channel quality indicator (CQI), a precoding matrixindicator (PMI), a rank indicator (RI), and hybrid automatic repeatrequest (HARD) ACK/NACK feedback. The PUSCH carries data, and mayadditionally be used to carry a buffer status report (BSR), a powerheadroom report (PHR), and/or UCI.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram of a base station 310 in communication with aUE 350 in an access network. In the DL, IP packets from the EPC 160 maybe provided to a controller/processor 375. The controller/processor 375implements layer 3 and layer 2 functionality. Layer 3 includes a radioresource control (RRC) layer, and layer 2 includes a service dataadaptation protocol (SDAP) layer, a packet data convergence protocol(PDCP) layer, a radio link control (RLC) layer, and a medium accesscontrol (MAC) layer. The controller/processor 375 provides RRC layerfunctionality associated with broadcasting of system information (e.g.,MIB, SIBs), RRC connection control (e.g., RRC connection paging, RRCconnection establishment, RRC connection modification, and RRCconnection release), inter radio access technology (RAT) mobility, andmeasurement configuration for UE measurement reporting; PDCP layerfunctionality associated with header compression / decompression,security (ciphering, deciphering, integrity protection, integrityverification), and handover support functions; RLC layer functionalityassociated with the transfer of upper layer packet data units (PDUs),error correction through ARQ, concatenation, segmentation, andreassembly of RLC service data units (SDUs), re-segmentation of RLC dataPDUs, and reordering of RLC data PDUs; and MAC layer functionalityassociated with mapping between logical channels and transport channels,multiplexing of MAC SDUs onto transport blocks (TBs), demultiplexing ofMAC SDUs from TBs, scheduling information reporting, error correctionthrough HARQ, priority handling, and logical channel prioritization.

The transmit (TX) processor 316 and the receive (RX) processor 370implement layer 1 functionality associated with various signalprocessing functions. Layer 1, which includes a physical (PHY) layer,may include error detection on the transport channels, forward errorcorrection (FEC) coding/decoding of the transport channels,interleaving, rate matching, mapping onto physical channels,modulation/demodulation of physical channels, and MIMO antennaprocessing. The TX processor 316 handles mapping to signalconstellations based on various modulation schemes (e.g., binaryphase-shift keying (BPSK), quadrature phase-shift keying (QPSK),M-phase-shift keying (M-PSK), M-quadrature amplitude modulation(M-QAM)). The coded and modulated symbols may then be split intoparallel streams. Each stream may then be mapped to an OFDM subcarrier,multiplexed with a reference signal (e.g., pilot) in the time and/orfrequency domain, and then combined together using an Inverse FastFourier Transform (IFFT) to produce a physical channel carrying a timedomain OFDM symbol stream. The OFDM stream is spatially precoded toproduce multiple spatial streams. Channel estimates from a channelestimator 374 may be used to determine the coding and modulation scheme,as well as for spatial processing. The channel estimate may be derivedfrom a reference signal and/or channel condition feedback transmitted bythe UE 350. Each spatial stream may then be provided to a differentantenna 320 via a separate transmitter 318TX. Each transmitter 318TX maymodulate an RF carrier with a respective spatial stream fortransmission.

At the UE 350, each receiver 354RX receives a signal through itsrespective antenna 352. Each receiver 354RX recovers informationmodulated onto an RF carrier and provides the information to the receive(RX) processor 356. The TX processor 368 and the RX processor 356implement layer 1 functionality associated with various signalprocessing functions. The RX processor 356 may perform spatialprocessing on the information to recover any spatial streams destinedfor the UE 350. If multiple spatial streams are destined for the UE 350,they may be combined by the RX processor 356 into a single OFDM symbolstream. The RX processor 356 then converts the OFDM symbol stream fromthe time-domain to the frequency domain using a Fast Fourier Transform(FFT). The frequency domain signal comprises a separate OFDM symbolstream for each subcarrier of the OFDM signal. The symbols on eachsubcarrier, and the reference signal, are recovered and demodulated bydetermining the most likely signal constellation points transmitted bythe base station 310. These soft decisions may be based on channelestimates computed by the channel estimator 358. The soft decisions arethen decoded and deinterleaved to recover the data and control signalsthat were originally transmitted by the base station 310 on the physicalchannel. The data and control signals are then provided to thecontroller/processor 359, which implements layer 3 and layer 2functionality.

The controller/processor 359 can be associated with a memory 360 thatstores program codes and data. The memory 360 may be referred to as acomputer-readable medium. In the UL, the controller/processor 359provides demultiplexing between transport and logical channels, packetreassembly, deciphering, header decompression, and control signalprocessing to recover IP packets from the EPC 160. Thecontroller/processor 359 is also responsible for error detection usingan ACK and/or NACK protocol to support HARQ operations.

Similar to the functionality described in connection with the DLtransmission by the base station 310, the controller/processor 359provides RRC layer functionality associated with system information(e.g., MIB, SIBs) acquisition, RRC connections, and measurementreporting; PDCP layer functionality associated with header compression /decompression, and security (ciphering, deciphering, integrityprotection, integrity verification); RLC layer functionality associatedwith the transfer of upper layer PDUs, error correction through ARQ,concatenation, segmentation, and reassembly of RLC SDUs, re-segmentationof RLC data PDUs, and reordering of RLC data PDUs; and MAC layerfunctionality associated with mapping between logical channels andtransport channels, multiplexing of MAC SDUs onto TBs, demultiplexing ofMAC SDUs from TBs, scheduling information reporting, error correctionthrough HARQ, priority handling, and logical channel prioritization.

Channel estimates derived by a channel estimator 358 from a referencesignal or feedback transmitted by the base station 310 may be used bythe TX processor 368 to select the appropriate coding and modulationschemes, and to facilitate spatial processing. The spatial streamsgenerated by the TX processor 368 may be provided to different antenna352 via separate transmitters 354TX. Each transmitter 354TX may modulatean RF carrier with a respective spatial stream for transmission.

The UL transmission is processed at the base station 310 in a mannersimilar to that described in connection with the receiver function atthe UE 350. Each receiver 318RX receives a signal through its respectiveantenna 320. Each receiver 318RX recovers information modulated onto anRF carrier and provides the information to a RX processor 370.

The controller/processor 375 can be associated with a memory 376 thatstores program codes and data. The memory 376 may be referred to as acomputer-readable medium. In the UL, the controller/processor 375provides demultiplexing between transport and logical channels, packetreassembly, deciphering, header decompression, control signal processingto recover IP packets from the UE 350. IP packets from thecontroller/processor 375 may be provided to the EPC 160. Thecontroller/processor 375 is also responsible for error detection usingan ACK and/or NACK protocol to support HARQ operations.

At least one of the TX processor 368, the RX processor 356, and thecontroller/processor 359 may be configured to perform aspects inconnection with 198 of FIG. 1.

At least one of the TX processor 316, the RX processor 370, and thecontroller/processor 375 may be configured to perform aspects inconnection with 199 of FIG. 1.

As described in connection with FIG. 1, wireless devices may use antennaarrays in order to transmit directional beams, e.g., for FR1. In someexamples, a base station may use a large antenna array to transmitand/or receive communication with a UE using directional beams (e.g.,182′ described in connection with FIG. 1) Analog beams may be used toexchange communication in FR2.

Common physical channels (such as a channel used to transmit CSI-RS,SSB,

TRS, etc.) may be transmitted with broad spatial beams, whereas data(e.g., PDSCH) may be transmitted using a narrower, more concentratedbeam, e.g., in order to increase spectral efficiency. A common physicalchannel may refer to a channel that is transmitted in common to morethan one UE. FIG. 4 illustrates an example communication system 400including a base station 402 and a UE 404. FIG. 4 illustrates a broaderbeam 406 used to transmit SSB/TRS than the beam 410 used to transmitPDSCH to the UE 404. As well, FIG. 4 illustrates a broader beam 408 usedto transmit CSI-RS from the base station 402 as compared to the narrowerbeam 410 used to transmit the PDSCH to the UE 404.

The difference between the beam used for downlink transmissions may leadto a mismatch (or difference) between the received power that the UE 404observes on different channels. For example, the UE may receive theSSB/TRS having a different received power than the PDSCH in FIG. 4.Similarly, the UE may receive the CSI-RS in FIG. 4 with a differentreceived power than the PDSCH.

The power difference may create a challenge for the receiver controlloops at the UE 404. For example, the automatic gain control (AGC),channel estimation, and/or demodulation reference signal (DMRS)estimation parameters (including delay spread, etc.) may be affected bythe power difference between the different downlink transmissions andmay reduce reception performance for the UE. The base station 402 maydynamically change the beam used to transmit PDSCH, and the effect maybe increased when the base station 402 performs rapid changes of thebeam order used for downlink transmissions. The base station 402 mayalso dynamically change the transmission power used to transmit downlinksignals that are received by the UE 404.

As an example, AGC may use a history of reception information at the UEto receive the PDSCH. However, such AGC may rely on a pilot signal and adata signal having similar behavior. AGC may be inaccurate when adownlink signal on a beam, such as beam 406 or 408, is used to receivePDSCH on beam 410.

The UE 404 may rely on measurements of the beam imbalance, e.g., betweenthe beam 410 and the beam 406 and/or the beam 408, to receive the PDSCH.However, the use of beam imbalance measurements may suffer frominstability in transient use cases, e.g., when the base station changesbeams, when the UE wakes up, etc.

In order to overcome the instability, the UE may consider the number ofconfigured ports as an initial EIRP offset value. However, such aninitial EIRP value may be relevant to the CSI-RS but not to othersignals or other channels. The base station may dynamically changetransmission power between different downlink transmissions. As anexample, the UE may be aware of a transmission power difference betweenCSI-RS and PDSCH transmissions. The UE may provide feedback about theCSI-RS that is used by the base station 402 to determine precoding,spectral efficiency, etc. in connection with a PDSCH transmission forthe UE 404. The SSB or the TRS transmitted by the base station 502 mayhave a wider beam than the CSI-RS ports so that the gain may be muchhigher. The higher gain may lead to errors in receiving the PDSCHsignal. Even with periodic CSI-RS, the maximum beam gain could lead tothroughput limitations due to an AGC noise floor.

In order to improve PDSCH reception at the UE 404, aspects presentedherein provide for signaling from the base station to the UE thatindicates an expected EIRP power ratio between a first downlinktransmission and a PDSCH transmission for the UE. FIG. 5 illustrates anexample communication flow 500 between a base station 502 and a UE 504that includes signaling a EIRP relationship information to the UE 504that enables the UE 504 to better receive a PDSCH from the base station502.

The base station 502 may transmit a first downlink transmission 506 tothe UE using a first spatial direction (e.g., a first beam). The firsttransmission 506 may comprise an SSB. The first transmission 506 maycomprise a TRS. The first transmission 506 may comprise a CSI-RS. Thefirst transmission 506 may comprise a first PDSCH.

At 510, the base station 502 transmits an indication 510 of an EIRPrelationship between the first transmission 506 and a PDSCH 512 to theUE 504. Prior to transmitting the indication 510, the base station 502determines an EIRP relationship between the first transmission 506 andthe PDSCH 512. The base station 502 may determine an antenna gain valuefor the UE 504 for reception of the PDSCH, at 508.

The EIRP relationship, indicated at 510, may be determined based, atleast in part, on the antenna gain value of the base station (e.g., theantenna gain for the base station used for the transmission for the UE).For example, the EIRP relationship may be determined based on theantenna gain value, a first transmission power for the firsttransmission, and a second transmission power for the PDSCH. The basestation 502 may determine the antenna gain value based on a precodingselected for the PDSCH. The base station 502 may determine the antennagain value based on an antenna beam pattern used in a transmission forthe UE 504. The base station 502 may determine the antenna gain valuebased on uplink channel measurements for communication from the UE 504.The base station 502 may determine the antenna gain value based on anestimated pathloss for the UE 504. The base station 502 may determinethe antenna gain value based on a combination of precoding, antenna beampattern, uplink channel measurements, and/or estimated pathloss.

For example, the base station 502 may indicate an EIRP relationshipbetween an SSB and a PDSCH for the UE. As another example, the basestation may indicate an EIRP relationship between a CSI-RS and a PDSCHfor the UE. As another example, the base station may indicate an EIRPrelationship between a TRS and a PDSCH for the UE. In another example,the base station may signal a change in an EIRP relative to a previousPDSCH transmission (e.g., an EIRP power ratio between the PDSCHtransmission and a previous PDSCH transmission). The EIRP relationshipbetween the two signals may be based on a combination of a transmissionpower ratio between the two signals (e.g., a “power offset” between thetwo downlink signals) and an antenna gain for the downlink transmissionof the PDSCH 512 to the UE 504. The EIRP may take into consideration thebase station's antenna beam pattern and the selected precoding for thesignals. A nominal power offset may be used between beams, e.g., betweenthe SSB and the PDSCH or between the CSI-RS and the PDSCH. A maximumpower offset may be used between beams, e.g., between the SSB and thePDSCH or between the CSI-RS and the PDSCH. As an example, the basestation 502 may indicate a nominal EIRP relationship between the firsttransmission 506 and the PDSCH 512. The base station 502 may indicate amaximum EIRP relationship between the first transmission 506 and thePDSCH 512.

The base station 502 may transmit the indication 510 to the UE in any ofa number of ways. The base station 502 may signal the power offset/powerratio to the UE 504 in DCI, such as including it in the TCI state forthe PDSCH. Alternately, the base station 502 may signal the poweroffset/power ratio to the UE 504 in RRC signaling, e.g., such assignaling maximum EIPR values. In another example, the base station 502may signal the EIRP relationship to the UE 504 using a combination ofRRC signaling and DCI. For example, the DCI may dynamically indicate anactual EIRP relationship with reference to an index or other parameterindicated in RRC signaling. In another example, the base station 502 maysignal the power offset/power ratio to the UE 504 as part of the datapayload in an earlier PDSCH 512. For example, the indication 510 mayindicate that the EIRP relationship applies to the PDSCH 512 and futurePDSCH. The indication may indicate a time, or a time offset, from whichthe EIRP relationship applies to PDSCH transmissions for the UE 504,because AGC parameters may already be set for the current PDSCH 512.Thus, the EIRP relationship may provide information that the UE 504 usesto decode data in a next slot.

As illustrated at 512, the base station 502 transmits the PDSCH to theUE 504 using a second directional beam (e.g., a second spatialdirection). The second directional beam may be different than the firstdirectional beam. As illustrated in FIG. 4, the second directional beammay be wider than a first directional beam. For example, the basestation 502 may transmit the first transmission 506 and the PDSCH 512 inFR1, and the first directional beam may be wider than the seconddirectional beam, e.g., as illustrated in FIG. 4.

In an example, the first transmission 506 may comprise an SSB, and theEIRP relationship indicated at 510 may include an EIRP ratio between theSSB and the PDSCH 512 and/or an EIRP offset between the SSB and thePDSCH 512.

In another example, the first transmission 506 may comprise a TRS, andthe EIRP relationship indicated at 510 may include an EIRP ratio betweenthe TRS and the PDSCH 512 or an EIRP offset between the TRS and thePDSCH 512.

In another example, the first transmission 506 may comprise a priorPDSCH transmission, and the EIRP relationship indicated at 510 mayinclude an EIRP ratio between the prior PDSCH transmission and the PDSCH512 or an EIRP offset between the prior PDSCH transmission and the PDSCH512. In this case the EIRP signaling 510 could be part of the PDSCHpayload. Thus, although the indication 510 of the EIRP relationship isillustrated with a separate line than the first downlink transmission506 (e.g., PDSCH), in some examples, the indication 510 may be comprisedin, or otherwise transmitted together with, the first downlinktransmission 506 (e.g., in a prior PDSCH).

In another example, the first transmission 506 may comprise a CSI-RS,and the

EIRP relationship may include an EIRP ratio between the CSI-RS and thePDSCH 512 or an EIRP offset between the CSI-RS and the PDSCH 512.

The UE 504 may use the indication 510 of the EIRP relationship toreceive the PDSCH 512. As an example, as illustrated at 514, the UE 504may perform automatic gain control to receive the PDSCH 512 using theEIRP relationship indicated by the base station 502. As another example,as illustrated at 516, the UE 504 may perform channel estimation toreceive the PDSCH 512 using the EIRP relationship indicated by the basestation 502.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart 600 of a method of wireless communication. Themethod may be performed by a base station or a component of a basestation (e.g., the base station 102, 180, 310, 402, 502; the apparatus702/702′; the processing system 814, which may include the memory 376and which may be the entire base station 310 or a component of the basestation 310, such as the TX processor 316, the RX processor 370, and/orthe controller/processor 375). Optional aspects are illustrated with adashed line. The method may help the base station to assist the UE inreceive PDSCH.

At 602, the base station transmits a first transmission using a firstdirectional beam. The first transmission may correspond, e.g., to thefirst downlink transmission 506 in FIG. 5. The first transmission mayinclude an SSB. The first transmission may include a TRS. The firsttransmission may include CSI-RS. The first transmission may include afirst PDSCH. The first transmission may use a different beam that aPDSCH transmission, e.g., as described in connection with FIG. 4.

At 606, the base station determines an EIRP relationship between thefirst transmission and a PDSCH for a UE. The EIRP relationship mayinclude a dynamic EIRP ratio between the first transmission and thePDSCH that is indicated in DCI. The EIRP relationship may include adynamic EIRP ratio between the first transmission and the PDSCH that isindicated in a payload of a previous PDSCH. For example, the EIRPrelationship may indicate that starting from a time or from a timeoffset, that the base station will change the EIRP ratio to theindicated value for PDSCH transmission. The EIRP relationship mayinclude a maximum EIRP ratio between the first transmission and thePDSCH or a maximum EIRP offset between the first transmission and thePDSCH. The EIRP relationship may be indicated to the UE in a RRCmessage.

As illustrated at 604, the base station may determine an antenna gainvalue for the transmission of the PDSCH to the UE. The EIRP relationshipmay be determined at 606 based, at least in part, on the antenna gainvalue of the base station (e.g., the antenna gain for the base stationused for the transmission for the UE). For example, the EIRPrelationship may be determined based on the antenna gain value, a firsttransmission power for the first transmission, and a second transmissionpower for the PDSCH. The base station may determine the antenna gainvalue based on a precoding selected for the PDSCH. The base station maydetermine the antenna gain value based on an antenna beam pattern usedin a transmission for the UE. The base station may determine the antennagain value based on uplink channel measurements for communication fromthe UE. The base station may determine the antenna gain value based onan estimated pathloss for the UE. The base station may determine theantenna gain value based on a combination of precoding, antenna beampattern, uplink channel measurements, and/or estimated pathloss.

At 608, the base station transmits, to the UE, an indication of the EIRPrelationship between the first transmission and the PDSCH. FIG. 5illustrates an example of a base station 502 transmitting an indication510 of the EIRP relationship to the UE 504. The EIRP relationship may beindicated to the UE in RRC signaling. The EIRP relationship may includea dynamic value that is indicated to the UE in DCI. The base station mayprovide the indication of the EIRP relationship between the firsttransmission and the PDSCH that enables the UE to set automatic gaincontrol based on the indication of the EIRP relationship.

At 610, the base station transmits the PDSCH to the UE using a seconddirectional beam. The first transmission and the PDSCH may betransmitted in FR1, and the first directional beam may be wider than thesecond directional beam, e.g., as illustrated in the example in FIG. 4.

In an example, the first transmission may comprise an SSB, and the EIRPrelationship indicated at 608 may include an EIRP ratio between the SSBand the PDSCH and/or an EIRP offset between the SSB and the PDSCH.

In another example, the first transmission may comprise a TRS, and theEIRP relationship may include an EIRP ratio between the TRS and thePDSCH or an EIRP offset between the TRS and the PDSCH.

In another example, the first transmission may comprise a prior PDSCHtransmission, and the EIRP relationship includes an EIRP ratio betweenthe prior PDSCH transmission and the PDSCH or an EIRP offset between theprior PDSCH transmission and the PDSCH.

In another example, the first transmission may comprise a CSI-RS, andthe EIRP relationship may include an EIRP ratio between the CSI-RS andthe PDSCH or an EIRP offset between the CSI-RS and the PDSCH.

The EIRP relationship may include a maximum EIRP ratio betweenthe first transmission and the PDSCH or a maximum EIRP offset betweenthe first transmission and the PDSCH that is received in a RRC message.

The EIRP relationship may be based on an antenna gain value of the basestation used for transmission to the UE, a first transmission power forthe first transmission and a second transmission power for the PDSCH,e.g., as described in connection with 604 and 606 of FIG. 6, and asdescribed in connection with FIG. 5. The EIRP relationship may be based,at least in part, on the antenna gain value of the base station (e.g.,the antenna gain for the base station used for the transmission for theUE). For example, the EIRP relationship may be based on the antenna gainvalue, a first transmission power for the first transmission, and asecond transmission power for the PDSCH. For example, the base stationmay determine the antenna gain value based on a precoding selected forthe PDSCH. The base station may determine the antenna gain value basedon an antenna beam pattern used in a transmission for the UE. The basestation may determine the antenna gain value based on uplink channelmeasurements for communication from the UE. The base station maydetermine the antenna gain value based on an estimated pathloss for theUE. The base station may determine the antenna gain value based on acombination of precoding, antenna beam pattern, uplink channelmeasurements, and/or estimated pathloss.

At 906, the UE receives the PDSCH from the base station over a seconddirectional beam using the EIRP relationship. The PDSCH transmission maycorrespond, e.g., to the PDSCH transmission 512 in FIG. 5. The firsttransmission and the PDSCH may be received in FR1, and the firstdirectional beam may be wider than the second directional beam, e.g., asdescribed in connection with FIG. 4. As an example, as illustrated at908, the UE may perform automatic gain control to receive the PDSCHusing the EIRP relationship indicated by the base station. For example,the UE may set the automatic gain control based on the EIRP relationshipindicated by the base station. As another example, as illustrated at910, the UE may perform channel estimation to receive the PDSCH usingthe EIRP relationship indicated by the base station.

In an example, the first transmission may comprise an SSB, and the EIRPrelationship indicated at 608 may include an EIRP ratio between the SSBand the PDSCH and/or an EIRP offset between the SSB and the PDSCH.

In another example, the first transmission may comprise a TRS, and theEIRP relationship may include an EIRP ratio between the TRS and thePDSCH or an EIRP offset between the TRS and the PDSCH.

In another example, the first transmission may comprise a prior PDSCHtransmission, and the EIRP relationship may include an EIRP ratiobetween the prior PDSCH transmission and a future PDSCH or an EIRPoffset between the prior PDSCH transmission and a future PDSCHtransmission.

In another example, the first transmission may comprise a CSI-RS, andthe EIRP relationship may include an EIRP ratio between the CSI-RS andthe PDSCH or an EIRP offset between the CSI-RS and the PDSCH.
